Default help with my front end

So I need help figuring out what to do. I need about another 1 to 2 inch of height in the front end of my truck. I already have a 6 inch lift on there, and have just about maxed out my suspension geometry. I just really need that extra inch or so. Would new control arms and coil overs do the trick? Or what? Help me out here

Up front all i have is the spacer from the 6" lift, so I didn't want to stack another one on top. But I think my angles are maxed out too. So I don't know if it would be good to do that

I ran a coilover for a 6" lift and put a 2" level on top + a AAL in the rear .. Worked fine for almost 2 years

For two years? Then what happened? So your angles on your control arms are fine?

Buy my coilovers! You can adjust them from 6 to 9 inches of lift! But you should also buy uni ball UCAs because your ball joints don't like being stressed and the dust boot will crack. I can send you pics of my Icons if you're interested.

Cool I can't post pics from my phone so check out buster's build thread. I think he commented on this thread pretty recently. I posted 4 pics on his thread.
